The Opposition Writers and Speakers are so anxious upon all occasions to extol theextraordinary abilities, the unequalled wisdom, and the Profound political knowledge of BUONAPARTE, that we are not without hopes , that when we can quote his au thority upon adisputed point, it will, in the estima , tion of Gentlemen at least, turn the balance in our favour. In all the discuss;ons which have taken place upon the Catholic Question, one of use Merits which always appeared to us most conclus:ve against the claims of the Catholics, was their con- ne6tions with, and, in many essential poin:g, their subinission to, a foreign po•',ver. This argurint has never been fairly answered, but attempts have been made to beat it down by boisterous ciamonr. 7,ose who hold it, are reproached with bigotry, with in tolerance, with a want of feeling for their teli6w creatures; in short, are represented' at the same time as the most weak and mint wicked of Catholic raueston almost, • invariably conclude their declatation by referring to the condoet of . BUONAPAIRTE, and by expatiating, in the warmit terms of praise, upon the wisdom of his -po licy upon the suhjetst• of rehgions toleration, Let us then inquire for a moment, what are the prin. "ciples, what is the condua of the man who is thus held up to u 4 as an objea of imitAion ? In as signing his reasons for his recent condua - to the POPE, he says,—" It has been demonstrited to me that the spiritual iqfluence exercised in my states by a foreign Sovereign, - was contrary to the indepen , deuce of France—to the dignity and SAFETY or MY THRONE." Such is the language of the man whose example the Government of this country is repeatedly advised to fcllow. He considers the spiritual inflo7 ence of a foreign Sovereign as inconsistent with the independence of France, and with the ialety of his throne, even although that Sovereign is the head of a church,. of which nearly the whole population of France are Memberi. It «•onld be an insult to the unclerst,inding of our Readers to attempt to shew Low much n►ore st►ongly this argument applies to our case than it does to that of France; but we con fess we are a little anxious to hear the sentiments of the admirers of BUONAPARTE's wisdom, and the advocates for the Clthohe claims, upon this sub je&, and to know how they will extricate them- selves troll] the dilemma in which he has thus cruel- ly placed them. It isgenerally understood that the Messenger who arrived last week from Franca brought over a pro position for an exchange of Prisoners, and that that proposition h: -- s been acceded to by our Govern ment. Two Comhlissioners, it is said, will be im mediately appointed by the Transport Board to catry the arrangements into exectrion on our part. We should not be surprized to find that this pro position for an exchange of Prisoners was accom panied with a delusive offer on the part of Fiance for a Negociation. The numbers for Lord ELDON and Lord Gags- VILLB last night at Oxford were nearly equal, and the friends of bo:h sides seemed io be equally con fident of success. The Duke of BEAuroRT was be hind. The poll was to be renewed, and is to ter minate this day. We yesterday denied from authority the report in a Morning Paper that Lord CHATHAM had re" resigned ; but as the Paper alluded to renews the report this day, under the milder statement tha t " symptoms of the retirement of both Lord CHAT nAm and Lord MULGRAVE have appeared," we deem it necessary to repeat our unqualified contra diaion of the paragraph. If the Public were not well acquaint-al with the eh:trader of those persons who so often attempt to bring the first City in the world entirely under the influence of party spirit, at a time which imperiously calls f.,: cordial unanimity in the people, it might be deemed . surprizing that the persons alluded to should be so persevering in their purpose. But the condu& of Mr. WAITHMAN and his friends, in the Common Council, for some time past, has suffici ently prepared the Public to expe,l from them a degree of political violence which fortunately ooly tends to bring discredit on themselves, and to oro duce sentiments in the people at large, dia opposite to those which it is their aim to excite, It appears that an Address to His MAJ ESTY had been voted i❑ the Common Council, Which, in the opinion of fair and candid men of both partiei (for among Britons we shall be always ready to admit that whatever political controversies may prevail, they will be fair and candid men on both sides), it . 30- peirs, we say, that an Address had been voted con- . taining passages, and couched in language, that ought never to be presented to a Monarch whose chief rule of anion through life has been to support the honour of the Throne, and promote the happi ness of his people.' Several loyal men, of high re putation in the City, who had not an opportu nity of being present when this exceptionable Ad- dress was voted, on account cf the late hour at which the subje& was introduced—men who feel fo r the credit of the capital of the British Empire, and are animated by the purest reverence for our vene rable King,were desirous to have the subje& re-con sidered, and, if an Address were at length deemed necessary, to have such a one prepared as might be more worthy of the respe&able source from which it issued, and Envie consistent with that deference NA hich is due to so august and so revered a Sovereign. —lt should be observed, that the persons who were thus anx►ous for having the Address re-considered, were not desirous of preventing the Common Coun 7 cO from forming any Address at all, and conse quently of stifling inquiry into the obje6t of it. Sure- Iy such conduft is suitable to the British charac ter. It evinces a zeal for troth, but at the same time it spews a proper respect for the head of the Cons►itution. Some very respeaable Members of Address should take place at all, till it should be seen what would be the condud of the Representatives of the people in Parliament assembled, and those Members we conceive to be the men who best un derstand the Constitution, and what is becoming the charader ito ns. It Parliament should be inat tentive to is duly—if it should appear disposed to damp a proper spirit of inquiry into the causes of public disasters or disappointmenis 7 —then would be the time for carrying up an Address to his Majesty, beseeching him to dired an investigation into what ever might be deemed injurious to the interest and honour of the Empire. With the advocates for such discreet forbearance we entirely agree, for it is an in sult to the Representatives of the People in Parlia. ment, to suppose that they will be averse to such inquiries ; at least, we ought patiently to wait till they have an opportunity of shew ing the • nation by what sentiments they are animated, and how regardful they are of their duty to the nation at large. Mr. WAITHIVIAN and his friends, however, are not of this opinion.— They persevere in prejudging a question on which they solicit inquiry, and they obstinately adhere to an Address, 'not only dirt,speaful in language to wards a good King, but what actually interferes with his prerogative, by presuming to object to the title winch his MA itsTY thought proper to confer on a gallant Officer who is an honour to his country, and who is at this time employed abroad in its service. The Marquis WELLESLEY has appointed his brotoer-in-law, CHAELES CULLEN SMITH, Esq. to be the Under Stxretary of State to the Foreign De partment. Th e Hmi. HENRY WELLESLEY is appointed Mi niskee Plenipotentiary to Spain, in the room of Mr. HOOKIIAM FRERE. Yestevday a Cabinet Council was held at the Fo re►gn Office. There were present the LORD CHAN• CELLOR, the Marquis WELLESLEY, 111 , .t Earls LIVER• POOL, BATHURsT, WESThI•~RLAND, HARRUWBY, and CHATHAM; Lord MULGRAVE, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. Secretary RIDER, and Mr. R.

The following is a correct account of the forgery and swindling tiansattion itr which the !mane of Earl PERCY has been tottoduced; we derive ii from most respettanle auttiorty.—A Mr. T. an Annuity Bro ker, received a letter, sigoad PERCY,' desiring titan to dill at Not huiubel mod House, as he wished so contract fora loan of money, by way of annuity, aad to be there at a given our. The pretended Earl PEttCY had his plan so w e ll arrange d, as to b e aliellty coming out 01 Nor( 11,:mberiand House as Mr. a'. was going to knock at the gate. The sham Ear; pretended to be much displeased at being kepi at home beyond the boor he had mentioned in his note to Mr. T. and observed, that -as she business he tO.tratisarA v‘ith Mt. T. was of a delicate na ture, ht did not like to return so abruptly to Nor thumberland Ho :se, lest any suspicion should arise in the (Marla of the family, and proposed to retire to a cotiee- house. This conversation was under the vary gates of Northumberland House. Mr. T. and My Lori retired, as was proposed, when his Lord salt; boomed Mr. T. that his most inlimate friend, BEAUMONT, Member with him for Nurthuma barlatul, had lost a cause with the Bishop 01 Deft taam, and ‘vas much in want of cash ; that wining ea a aa dol g ly to oalige him, he wanted the loan of '15,0001. but did not like to apply to his father, the Duke, w. o had on lanes the suns at his command. Mr. "T. having no doubt whatever that he was in the presence of tau i PERCY, instantly mentioned the terms ou whit h tic wished to lend such a sum ;'and atter a few tridtng alterations, the affair was adjust ed, and °tilers given to prepue the deeds, with a strict injuoctioa Irons the Noble Earl, that the trans action was to be kept secret. Whether there were more interviews than the one above stated, we are not informed ; but matters were so settled that the Earl was to receive the money at Alowick Cast!e, in .Northumberland, whither Mr. 'l'. and some of his clients set off with the money and deeds. On their arrival at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, they were met by an accomplice of the Earl's, who informed them that his Lordship had left Alowick Caatle for Hexham Abbey, the seat of Colonel BEAUMONT, and that they were to proceed-immediately to the .Black Bull ion, at Hexham, where the Earl would meet them. They did so, and soon after came his Lordship, and having executed the deeds, he re ceived, not the 15,0001. his Lordship wanted, but 18,0001. which they prevailed ou him to take. He then, as a matter of course in such money transac tions, instantly discharged the Attorney's is said that 14,0001. of the money, another account says 10,0001. has been returned, and an oder wide to return 40001 more, by the twopenny post, pro vided (he mock Earl can have such an understanding with the parties who lent the money, as to secure him against prosecution. We understand that the money-lending dupes do not know where to look • for him ; and that he has laid his plan so well, t hat it is in their power to convey their answer to bins without the least trace where he is to be found.

Extract of a letter, dated Gibraltar, Nov. Is, 809 A most melancholy accident occurred on Sul - idly, near Cadiz. Lieut.
